	'''Cast versus Armor''' (CvA) is a factor in [[warding]] attack spells that reflects how well [[armor]] protects against magic. Lower CvA means the armor is more protective. Heavier armor types are harder to penetrate. Magical or [[Enchant ~~Item~~ (925)\|enchanted]] armors protect the wearer better than non-magical or non-enchanted armors, and this differential also increases with the heavier types of armor. In practice, wearing heavier and magical armor is equivalent to having a higher [[target defense]] for any target.

⚫	~~Just as wearing heavy metal [[armor]] can inhibit the casting of a spell, so too can a target that wears such armor be more insulated from magical effects.~~ Like [[AvD]], ~~this number~~ is added directly to the combat roll to determine a warding spell's success. Positive values represent a greater vulnerability to attack, and negative values represent less.

		⚫	Like [[AvD]], CvA is added directly to the combat roll to determine a warding spell's success. Positive values represent a greater vulnerability to attack, and negative values represent less.

			Per GM Cyper's post introducing CvA, use of a non-magical shield will provide -5 CvA, and a magical shield -10 CvA, which is not cumulative with armor. Functionally, this means that shields only provide a CvA benefit when Armor Group 1/clothing is worn.

		⚫	CvA can be modified by [[Shield Focus]] and [[Ensorcell]].
